Delighted to have staff from global insurance company @Chubb Glasgow office along this week to help with shopping and deliveries to our @FoodTrainScot members in Renfrewshire.

@TRobinsonMiles When out delivering the other day I thought we must have left a box in the van - but no - that *was* how little £35 had bought for our member.

Today we said "Adieu" to all the @MorganStanley employees who have been helping @FoodTrainScot as part of the MS Global Volunteering Month. Every one of them says they enjoyed their time volunteering with Food Train and we look forward to seeing them again next year.

THEN vs NOW

We're reflecting back on 27 years and how far we've come.

Take a look at our very first shopping receipt from 29th June 1995 for just 5 customers!

Now we do almost 5000 deliveries a month for 2577 older people and it grows every year.

#HappyBirthdayFoodTrain
